Piano à Deux – music, marriage and modern technology

Facing fears and taking risks
Robert and Linda are classical pianists who have found a unique way to combine their music with comedy, stories, and improvisations.
But the shows they devised had never been done before, and were very different to what was expected of concert pianists. So, as classical musicians, Linda and Robert were unsure of how their ideas would be received. The first time they tried out a new idea in front of an audience – including their mentor – they were nervous and afraid. It was not easy for either of them to bite the bullet and risk being ridiculed.
They found, thankfully, that their creative approach was welcomed and appreciated.
They both went out of their comfort zones, and discovered new musical identities.
Did I mention, that Robert and Linda are a married couple?
After a lengthy divorce process – 11 years – Robert found that the women he was meeting in his everyday life were much younger than he was, and was introduced to Internet dating. He was not confident on using a computer, but – in 2007 – he managed to get his profile up and it was there that he met his now wife and piano duet partner Linda.
We talk a lot on the Creativity Found podcast about the fears that surround starting or re-starting a creative endeavour, but what about looking for love later in life?
This episode explores not only how Linda and Robert lost and re-found their love of music and performing, but also how previous relationships affected their whole lives and how they worked through those troubles and concerns to find and move on with each other.
